This is the amazing moment a group of divers found a whale shark swimming with dozens of smaller fish following it.<br /><br />The divers went into the sea to explore the area's ecology 13 nautical miles away from a shore in Rayong, eastern Thailand on Tuesday morning (May 12).<br /><br />They dived 20ft underwater where they noticed the 16ft long whale shark encircled by a group of sharksuckers, small fish that attach themselves to larger hosts to pick up food scraps.<br /><br />Footage from the diver shows the huge sea creature swimming beautifully looking for its food for half an hour before it went on its way into deeper area.<br /><br />The diver said the area is quite fertile because it is full of rock formations which prevent the fishing boats from coming around.<br /><br />He said: "The ecology there was undisturbed by human activity as it was so far from the shore.<br /><br />"Absence of humans has allowed the area to be fertile. It is rich with rare sea creatures and scenarios like the shark whale searching for prey.''
